RE: DHCPv6 - does it have gateway option

["Leino, Tammy" <tammy_leino at mentor.com>]

I had this same discussion with the DHCP working group a few weeks back.
The end result was that there should always be an IPv6 router on-link
configured to transmit RAs.  They could not fathom why an IPv6 network
would not have an IPv6 router on-link.  That is why there is
intentionally no DHCPv6 option for distributing the gateway.

Best Regards,
Tammy

It almost seems like the DHCPv6 designers did...
